WlNDOW-CASING AND PU LLEY-SUPPORT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 593,585, dated November 16, 1897. Application filed October 28, 1896. Serial No. 610,382- (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that we, ANDREW JONES and HENRY HARIG, citizens of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Harnilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lVindow- Casings and Pulley-Supports, of which the following is a clear, concise, and full specification.

Our invention relates to an improved window-casing and pulley-support for sashweights.

The objects of our invention are to provide a pulley-support easily put into position and held there by the combined weight of the sash and sash-balance, to provide a cheap and efficient window-casing having means for easy access to the interior thereof, one which will compensate for shrinkage and maintain a dusttight joint between the casing and sashes; and the invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a section of our improved casing Fig. 2, a perspective of the pulley-casing; Fig. 3, a cross-section of a part of the window-casin g, and Fig. 4 a top plan of a portion of the window-casing.

The numeral 1 represents a pulley-casing provided with an end 2, adapted to take over the upper rail of a window-casing, and an end 3 at right angles to end 2, adapted to rest in a recess cut in the side 6. The casing 1 is hollow and is adapted to support a pulley 4fpivoted within the casing between the ends 2 and 3. The sashcord 10 passes over the pulley and carries at one end the usual weight 11 and at the other the usual sash 12. The combined weight of the sash and weight holds the pulley-casing in position, and it is thus possible to do away with the use of screws and nails for holding the casing in position. If screws are desired, they may be introduced wherever wanted. The rear of the casing 1 between the ends is rounded, so that by relievingthe casing of weight it may be removed from the window-casing by first lifting it slightly and then drawing the end 3 forward.

and downward until the end 2 can pass down and past the end of the upper rail 5. The pulley-casin g is inserted in the same manner, only the steps are reversed.

The second part of our invention relates to that class of casings described in the patent to A. Jones, one of the herein patentees, granted September 8, 1896, No. 567,240.

The window-casing is provided with a removable inner plate 8, provided with bulged surfaces, and an outwardly-projecting rectangular part 9, adapted to act as a partingstrip. A reinforcing-strip 13 is placed behind the rectangular portion, which supports it, and also separates the casing into two parts for the weights.

We claim--- 1. As an article of manufacture a pulleycasing having a projecting lip adapted to rest upon the upper rail of a window-casing and an end adapted to rest in a socket carried by the upright of the window-casing, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. As an article of manufacture a pulleycasing having a projecting lip adapted to rest upon the upper rail of a window-casing, an end adapted to rest in a socket carried by the upright of the window-casing and a curved rear portion between the ends, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. The combination with having recesses cut in the ends of the upper rail of a pulley-support provided with a lip adapted to take over the upper rail, an end adapted to rest in a recess carried by the uprights of the casing and a curved rear portion between the lip and end substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
